<dim:field mdschema="dc" element="description" qualifier="abstract" lang="is">Sunnlensk fyrirtæki spila stórann þátt í fyrirtækjarekstri á Akureyri þrátt fyrir að ekki öllum sunnlenskum fyrirtækjum hafi gengið vel í rekstri á Akureyri. Viðfangsefni þessarar rannsóknar var því að skoða hvað væri að valda því að þessum fyrirtækjum gangi ekki betur og hvort flökkusagan um vörutryggð Akureyringa við sinn heimabæ væri að spila þar inn í. Rannsakendur leituðust því eftir að svara við rannsóknarspurningunni „Gerir vörutryggð Akureyringa við norðlensk vörumerki sunnlenskum fyrirtækjum erfitt uppdráttar í rekstri á Akureyri“. Rannsóknarvinnan var bæði framkvæmd með eigindlegri rannsókn í formi viðtala og meigindlegri rannsókn í formi spurningarkönnunar. Helstu niðurstöður þessarar rannsóknar sýndu fram á það að vörumerkjatryggð Akureyringa við norðlenska framleiðslu hafi ekki áhrif á gengi sunnlenskra fyrirtækja í rekstri á Akureyri. Aðrir þættir eins og hversu litla vinnu sunnlensk fyrirtæki leggja í að persónugera rekstur sinn að Akureyringum orsaki frekar dapurt gengi þeirra fyrirtækja.</dim:field>
<dim:field mdschema="dc" element="description" qualifier="abstract" lang="en">Companies from the south side of Iceland play a big part in business operations in Akureyri, although not all companies from the south side of Iceland have been successful in operating in Akureyri. The subject of this research was therefore to look at what was causing these companies to not do better and whether the wandering story about the brand loyalty of the people of Akureyri to their home town was playing a part in that. The researchers therefore sought out to answer the research question "Does the brand loyalty of Akureyri residents to northern brands make it difficult for companies from the south side of Iceland to operate in Akureyri". The research work was carried out both with a qualitative study in the form of interviews and a quantitative study in the form of a questionnaire. The main results of this study showed that the brand loyalty of Akureyri in northern production does not affect the operation of companies from the south side of Iceland operating in Akureyri. Other factors, such as how little effort companies from the south side of Iceland put into personalizing their operations to Akureyri, was rather the cause of the bad performance of those companies.</dim:field>
